CURING PORK.

The meat is not fit for sailing until free
from animal heat, and yet it should not be
frozen in the least. as this condition pre-
vents salt penetrating it. Trim the
lean meat from the middlings it is
better relished in sausages than after be-
ing sailed. This lower stratum of lean
pork is supposed to have special virtue
in seasoning baked beans, but | have
never been convinced of its superiority in
this respect, a piece of fat pork and Il
little salt accomplish this. and no tough
tendons to be masticated. If sweet pork
is wanted the barrel must have no sus-
picon of faint Washing, drying and
airing is not labor lost upon barrel that
has been used for pork if in fair condi-
ton. About IA bushel of rock salt to IA
barrel of pork is enough. Cover the bot
tom of the barrel with salt to the depth
of three inches, then pack the strips of
pork in circles, the rind facing the barrel,

Time for Recreation.

What little reputation ! have as an
author was fairly won while l was a
hard working and successful lawyer. On
the other hand. my literary work never
interfered in the least with my law prac-
tice. | look upon a well set method of
working as the chief secret of success in
any undertaking, provided the native
ability to succeed be granted. l believe
in the moral influence and vitalzng
force of playing. A man or a woman
needs play -recreation-or whatever is
the opposite of work. / have always
found time for outdoor sports and have
been the gamer from them in every
sense. 1t is a morbid view of life which
would show that in order to succeed one
must work all the year round. Play is
profitable if held within the bounds pre-
sclibed by good judgment.

MAKE YOUNG PULLETS LAY.

Two or three weeks of judicious man
agement now to assist the pullets in form
ing their first crop of eggs, so to speak,
will make vast difference in the product
of eggs during the next four months,
when fresh eggs will retail in Boston or
cents per dozen. Every moment gained
now is very valuable, as young pullets
which do not begin to lay by December,
will not in nine cases out of ten COM

flock now will return to you many fold

Mr.. T.. II. Stuart of Lancaster, n. H.,
relates his experience in making pulets
lay in cold weather. as follows: ~ had
twelve fine Plymouth Rock pullets. The
early Matched ones commenced laying in
the fall; when cold weather came on they
stopped laying, while the rest had not be-
gun to lay. l then commenced using
Sheridan's Powder, advertised to make
hens lay. In ten days one pullet COM

l think the day is not far distant when
the hangman's moose will be done away
with. There are so many things attend
ant on hanging that are not humane.
The horrors of the human mind when
portrayed in The Execution" in the
''1ngoldsby Legends" better, perhaps,
than Victor Hugo's interpretations yet
neither of them could describe that worst
of all men 5 failings-moral fear.
Regardless of the stolid features when
the death warrant is being read, there is
no indication of the awful mental drama
going on in the brain. 1t must of nature
be the agony of agonies. The neck
twinges and the flesh feels the moose long
before it is adjusted. The knot that is
to knock into instantaneous insensbility
the scaffold's victim batters away at the
ear until every muscle of the neck is
stretched to the tension of steel springs:
the veins. like whipcords, are dilated
with rushing blood that fires the brain
with the lividness of 100 hells: while
standing ON the trap man must die a
dozen deaths before the life spark ex-
pires when the hemp is stretched. l say
that this death is not humane. AS
view it, electricity should be used and
the criminal shocked to death. This is
not only instantaneous. but it could be
administered at an unguarded moment
to the felon. He should never know
when he was to die. and therefore he
would not be living in that horrid con-
temptation of a set day. think the time
is not far distant when this method of
execution will be adopted.

The Gentry of Formosa.

The resurvey of Formosa discloses the
fact that much of the land is held in
seigniories or manors. The early Chinese
petty squatters had no titles for the land
appropriated from the savages, and as
soon as it was cultivated the powerful
gentry applied for wholesale government
grants, which thus placed them in a posi-
ton to treat the cultivators as tenants at
will.-Chicago News.

HOwe's Hurrah !
A Train Of Agricultural Machinery Moving
Through the Streets!

Last Saturday was great day fol
farmers, in Jackson. Early in the morn
ing, Miller, Millson, and other machine
men began to get the big display ready.
The engine was kept running, big
thresher was hitched on, and a small
grinding machine was also attached. The
farmers had an excellent opportunity for
inspecting the machinery. The big
thresher owned by the Kuehners ran as
smoothly as clock All the machinery
was first class.
In the afternoon the train was made
ready for the parade. This consisted of a
traction engine, water tank. thresher,
drills, mowers, &C., followed by wagon
load of young ladies under command of
Josh E. Price. The whole train was dec
Grated with flags, and the whole effect
was very neat. The large thresher was
covered with boys and flags. giving it an
excessively lively appearance. The train
moved along the streets, preceded by the
Little Ten Band and the splendid Silver
Cornet Band, the finest, perhaps, in south
ern Ohio. 1t was a novel Sight-the
engine handled with as much skill as
though it were light two-horse carriage.
This train moved about the principal
streets of the place, attracting universal
attention. There was great crowd upon
the streets, and everybody seemed pleased
with the novelty and success of the dis
play. A number of Springfield gentlemen
took part in the affair. These were re-
ceived by committee and entertained
during their stay. 1t was big day for
Springfield machinery, and a big day for
Jackson. Howe is happy. He secured
photo of the train.

On last Thursday evening Thomas
Wickline, aged eighteen. and his brother
George, aged thirty-fve, had a difficulty
which bids fair to cost George his life,
and consign Thomas to prison cell for a
long time. After quarrel between them,
in which. we believe, Thomas was as
saulted, he went to the Justices office in
Coalton-both living at that point-and
swore out warrant for Georges arrest.
The latter followed and threatened his
brother, in case proceedings were not
stopped. Thomas had taken rifle with
him to the Justices Office, and in the
quarrel which ensued, he shot George in
the side, inficting dangerous wound.
Thomas is in Jail.

The Wallace Show.

On Saturday we visited, upon invitation
of Mr.. Willis Cobb, press agent, the show
of Wallace & Co. We were requested to
give no praise unless it was merited. We
must say, however, that this is one of the
best managed shows we ever saw here.
The department of the men-from the
manager to the hostlers-was perfectly
gentlemanly and courteous. Everything
about the establishments was in perfect
order, the large number of animals being
well fed and cared for, and all the appoint
ments of the show perfect. The circus
performance is one of the best on the
road-there being two acts that are worth
the price of admission alone. These are
the trapeze "eap for life," and the swing
ing-bar sailor act. The show has one
hundred and ten splendid horses, some of
these magnificent creatures. We inspected
all the arrangements of this establish
ment, the tents, boarding-houses, stables,
and so on, and can cheerfully say that
they are simply as near perfection as it is
possible to attain. Among the gentle
manly managers of the concern we will
mention Mr.. Cobb as being one of the
most gentlemanly and accommodating
men we ever met.

that by working lever in the end of the
car, one man can propel street-car with
greater ease than two horses can haul
them now. We learn that with proper
encouragement Mr.. johnson would man

as though this experiment would be worth
trying. We would like to see an expert
mental track laid, and this new car thor
oughly tested. AS means of convenient

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff
ferent principle from the usual prescrip-
tions given by Physicians, as it does not
dry up Cough and leave the disease
still in the system, but on the parts af-
fected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and long spell of serious illness. A
trial will convince you of these facts. 1t
is positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, Is cts.

Some of our young men have remark
ably strange idea about building up a
town, as evinced in recent transaction
on the west side of town. Houses began
to go up in that neighborhood, and there
was rush to get hold of some of the lots,
and nearly double the price, for the pur-
pose of speculating off of men who desired
to build. Of course this is legitimate
business, but after doing it, there ought
to be no more said over that way about
working for the good of the town-be-
cause the people will simply go little
further and buy prettier lots, leaving that
portion to the frogs and the loose cows.

The pitching for canes at the show
grounds to-day was fine occasion for
studying human character. Some four
hundred canes were set up endways, and
privilege given at the rate of ten cents
a dozen to pitch iron rings over the ends
each pitcher to get every cane oyer
which he pitched ring. Several parties
in their eagerness to get something for
nothing-spent from fifty cents to one
dollar each, and got cane worth five
cents. Of course it looked easy, and the
expressions on the faces of some of the
men after pitching dozen rings and get
ting no cane would have been complete

After the show parade-which was
fine one-it was surprising, even to loyal
Jacksonians, to see and hear the manner
and music of the Jackson Cornet Band,
which headed the agricultural train. The
playing of this fine band is, we believe,
unequaled by that of any band this side
of Columbus and Cincinnati, while the
marching of the boys is splendid. The
band is constantly improving, and if the
members hold together another year, they
will not be afraid to cope with any band
in the State.
